Assemblyman Walter T. Mosley: National Night Out helps Central
Brooklyn fight crime
Im committed to taking steps to ensure central Brooklyn continues to be a safe place to live and
raise a family. However, this takes a community effort. Thats why, on Aug. 4, Ill be joining
nearly 40 million Americans in observing National Night Out an annual event designed to
prevent crime and drug abuse by showcasing community strength and determination.
Events like National Night Out have helped drive down the crime rate. Since this event was
started in 1984, violent crime has dramatically fallen in New York State. In fact, despite a
population increase of nearly 2 million, the number of violent crimes fell from 162,157 in 1984 to
76,596 in 2013. But, we can do more. I look forward to participating in National Night Out on
Tuesday because by working together, we can make central Brooklyn better.
